Broward County Commission meeting agenda

Establishing a countywide elected mayor and reducing the number of district commissioners from nine to eight.

A rival proposal doubling the term of the ceremonial mayorship to two years.

A proposal to ban county commissioners, their family members, aides and office staff from doing business with Broward County.

Asking voters to apply the new ethics code to city officials in Broward, and to the sheriff, property appraiser, clerk of courts, supervisor of elections.

Setting up an ethics Inspector General, and requiring complainants to identify themselves and sign an affidavit.

Asking voters if they think state law should be changed to allow counties to change tax notices so that the property tax attributed to the budget of the sheriff and other constitutional officers would be separated out for the public to see.

At 2 p.m. they'll consider:

A vote to ban county advisory board members from lobbying the division or department their board pertains to, during their service and for two years afterwards;

A vote to adopt the Ethics Commission's proposed new code of ethics;

A vote to change the code of ethics, possibly exempting current commissioners and their family members and office staff from some of the regulations, allowing them to remain on selection committees influencing who gets county contracts, and allowing their family members to receive gifts from lobbyists.
